Advices to Contributors of Research Notes
Short articles reporting new findings in rice genetics are invited as
research notes. Each note should be in the form of an abstract, typewritten
double-spaced throughout on one side of A4 paper. In principle, a note
should be within two printed pages. References should be given when
citation is made in the text. A few tables and/or figures evidencing the
findings reported are welcome, but table should be concise with values
given in as few digits as possible. Figures should also be small in size
and concisely written. Particular strains used as experimental material
should be clearly described. For reporting a new gene, its name, symbol,
etc. should be registered and published in the Report of Committee on Gene
Symbolization, Nomenclature and Linikage Groups (write to Dr. T.
Kinoshita, Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 060
Japan), and a small bit of seed of the genetic stock carrying the gene
should be sent to the Committee on Genetic Stocks (to Dr. N. Iwata,
Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, 812 Japan, or to Dr.
G.S. Khush, IRRI, P.O. Box 933, Manila, Philippines). Recent papers
on rice genetics published by the members in languages other than English
may be briefly rewritten as research notes. In writing the manuscript,
please carefully follow the style we use, by referring to previous issues
of RGN. When deemed necessary, manuscripts accepted may be edited with
approval of the author (except for minor changes). Manuscripts for the
issue of the year should be received by the editor (H.I. Oka, National
Institute of Genetics, Mishima, 411 Japan, or G. S. Khush, l.c.) by the end
of August.
